I liked everything about the stay. The price was amazing, the rooms clean and the social room was a nice get away from the room to watch a movie. I even enjoyed the view of the track/football field.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

There were bugs in the rooms! I heard noises of my plastic bags at night, but when I got up and turn on the light, it became quiet immediately. This repeated many times until one day when I was sitting and typing, a bug (smaller than a rat, bigger than a cockroach) came out and I realized it was eating my food! Later I found my cookies (packaging originally intact) were half bitten by the bugs and they affected my sleep for several nights.

The breakfast was good, containing fruits. It is on campus, so the environment was also nice.

booking.com will not communicate the reservation to the property making the check-in more complicated.
Dorms are individual rooms which does not really work for small children.

Young atmosphere, nice helpful people. breakfast acceptable.

Shouldn't really be called a three bedroom apartment. I expected a common room, or even a dining table, for the family to hang out together, but it was just three rooms with a bed in each and a small kitchen.

It was a great location, close to downtown, clean and great value.

No map of the campus was provided and the car parking was on campus near another building. Person at desk was not that helpful. Small single beds in two different rooms. The bathmat was a piece of paper!

The building was relatively close to downtown in a nice neighbourhood. Good WiFi.

Definitely a backpacker experience. Rooms were difficult to find and the lack of AC made things very uncomfortable overnight.

Good location relative to downtown Halifax, free parking & breakfast.
